You are fortunate having a spread as that..and yes pray survival mode would not be necessary. My husbands family had property as that and my father-in-law use to store food and water just in case. The house they restored was over a hundred years as well....they have the history on it and a state landmark.
Another reason for this apartment...location is great...Fine area, good neighbors and it sits off the beaten path and would not be noticed if you didn’t know it was there because of how it is joined to the building. The area is developed rural. Lots of property to each home there... and again off the beaten path. Just three miles from all the shopping I would need..so if i ever had to walk that would be possible.
My only concern is it is ground floor....where second floor has always made me feel more secure.
I read about those greenhouses....but I would never be handy enough to put one together. This will be my first garden so we shall see.
Normally I probably wouldn’t consider it. But given how things are going I look at life quite differently now and just give more thought to things I wouldn’t have prior.
